Volvo 345. 1979 - 1991

History of the Volvo Car

A 5-door version
to extend the 340 programme was introduced in the autumn of 1979, as the 1980
model year. The trend towards cars with rear doors was now gathering
speed.

Yet another version based on the Volvo 345 was launched in August
1983 for the 1984 model year. This time it was a 4-door saloon. This version
also had a longer rear overhang, which increased its overall length to 441
cm/173.6".
